Increased ICP and
Herniation Syndrome
Gerald Pagaling
Objectives
 Discuss the mechanisms for the homeostasis of ICP.
 Enumerate the different types of Herniation
Syndromes.
 Discuss the appropriate management in increased
ICP.
Monroe Kellie Doctrine
….The intact cranium and vertebral canal, together
with the relatively inelastic dura , form a rigid
container, such that an increase in the volume of any
of its contents – (Brain, Blood or CSF) – will elevate
the ICP. Furthermore, and increase in any one of
these components must be at the expense of the
other two…

The restrictions apply to each
compartment (R vs L supratentorial
space, infratentorial space, spinal
subarachnoid space.
A. Buffering effect of displacement of CSF from
the cranial cavity to the spine.
B. Stretching of the infoldings of the relatively
unyielding dura (Falx Cerebri).
C. Slow formation of CSF during raised ICP
D. Brain deformation.

 Movement of Sodium and Water across the ventricular wall
and paraventricular space.
Clinical Presentation
Direct
Bilateral
Papilledema*
Headache
Brain
Dysfunction
Vomiting
Indirect
Decrease in
Sensorium
Pupillary Dilatation
Abducens Palsy
Cushing Response
A. Papilledema
The optic nerve is surrounded by dural and
subarachnoid sleeve, which contains CSF
that communicates with the CSF in the
subarachnoid space
Retinal Veins
 ICP rise dampens the venous pulsations.
 With obstruction, retinal veins becomes larger and
more numerous
The presence of
retinal venous
pulsations is a good
but not invariable sign
of normal ICP
Engorgement of
retinal veins is a
reliable early
sign of ICP
 Impaired Axoplasmic Flow – enlargement of Blind
Spot
 Failure of Ganglion Cells – Concentric Vision Loss
B. Headache
Subtle distortions of pain receptors in
cerebral blood vessels and meninges.
Venous Obstruction
C. Cushing’s/Vasopressor Response
Hypertension
 Induction of CNS Ischemic response due to CSF
Pressure>Arterial Pressure.
Bradycardia
Stimulation of Vagus Nerve due to rise in
Arterial Blood Pressure via the Baroreceptors
in Aortic Arch
Irregular Respiration
Increased ICP
Herniation Syndromes
Dislocation of a portion of the cerebral or cerebellar
hemisphere from its normal position to an adjacent
compartment that is bounded by dural folds, a phenomenon that
is evident both at the autopsy table and by imaging of the brain.

falx.
ACA: Pericallosal & Callosomarginal branches
2. Lateral Displacement of
Diencephalon
Roughly correlated

consciousness

3. Uncal/Lateral Transtentorial
Uncus/Medial edge

herniates
medially
and downward over
the free tentorial
edge
into
the
tentorial notch.
3. Uncal/Lateral Transtentorial
1. Ipsilateral Fixed and
Dilated Pupil:

-Changes in alertness and behavior
-Warns of a potential reversible lesion that is about
to encroach the brainstem creating a irreversible
damage.
-Similarity with Metabolic Encephalopathy.*

Also seen in patient who had undergone
lumbar puncture with intracranial mass.
Upward Brainstem Herniation
Superior surface of the cerebellar vermis
and midbrain are pushed upward,
compressing the dorsal mesencephalon,
adjacent blood vessels and cerebral
aquedect.
Respiratory
disturbance,
cardiac
irregularity, loss of consciousness
Upward Brainstem Herniation
Decerebrate posturing and pupillary
changes-initially both pupils are miotic but
still reactive, progressing to anisocoria and
enlargement-to this type of brain
displacement.

Same with Propofol and Midazolam
Benefits
Risks
-ICP decreases rapidly and
usually remains low as long as
the patient is anesthetized
-The effect of this treatment on
long-term outcome is not dramatic
and the frequent monitoring of
EEG, drug levels, and potential
cardiopulmonary complications
make it extremely labor intensive.
- Requires an ICU Set-up

significant IVH NS Hydrocephalus
Maintaining CPP: 60-70mmHg
Different Types:
 Intraventricular*
 Intraparenchymal

 Subdural
 Epidural
Surgical Management
